Discovery Institute Press is the imprint of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture. Started in 1996, the Center for Science and Culture is a Discovery Institute program which:

Supports research by scientists and other scholars challenging various aspects of neo-Darwinian theory;

Supports research by scientists and other scholars developing the scientific theory known as intelligent design;

Supports research by scientists and scholars in the social sciences and humanities exploring the impact of scientific materialism on culture; and:

Encourages schools to improve science education by teaching students more fully about the theory of evolution, including the theory's scientific weaknesses as well is its strengths.

Discovery's Center for Science and Culture has more than 40 Fellows, including biologists, biochemists, chemists, physicists, philosophers and historians of science, as well as public policy and legal experts, many of whom also have affiliations with colleges and universities.

While conservatives are presumed to be critical of Darwin’s theory, many on the right have mounted a vigorous defense of Darwinism. Darwin’s Conservatives explains that their attempts to reconcile conservatism and Darwinian biology misunderstand both.

In 2013, Stephen Meyer’s book Darwin’s Doubt became a national bestseller, provoking a wide-ranging debate about the adequacy of Darwinian theory to explain life’s history. In Debating Darwin’s Doubt: A Scientific Controversy That Can No Longer Be Denied, leading scholars in the intelligent design community respond to critiques of Meyer’s […]

How would an entrepreneur reform education? In Every School, Don Nielsen draws on his business career, and two decades as a school activist, to offer innovative solutions to the educational challenges facing our country. Lasting change, Nielsen argues, will not come mainly through local school boards, but rather through state […]

What does it mean to say that God “used evolution” to create the world? Is Darwin’s theory of evolution compatible with belief in God? And even if Darwin’s theory could be reconciled with religious belief, do we need to do so? Is the theory well established scientifically? Is it true?

In this wide-ranging collection of essays, mathematician Granville Sewell looks at the big bang, the fine-tuning of the laws of physics, and the evolution of life. He concludes that while there is much in the history of life that seems to suggest natural causes, there is nothing to support Charles Darwin’s idea that natural selection of random mutations can explain major evolutionary advances.

When it comes to some of life’s most profound questions—the origins of life, of matter, of the universe itself—does modern science already have everything all figured out? Many scientists would like us to think they are mere steps away from solving all the deep enigmas of physical existence.

The 2014 reboot of Carl Sagan’s classic 13-part series Cosmos struck a chord with viewers, garnered 12 Emmy Award nominations, and is headed straight into schools as a science teacher’s instructional aid. It’s also an agenda-driven vehicle for scientific materialism, casting religion as arch foe of the search for truth about nature […]
